You could say I?ve reached that time I know my trade
And that I know how to care for my guitar and I know how to get up late
Comfortable when I sleep on the floor
I?ve played a fair few shows and I?m gonna play more
And all along the while I was just trying to make people smile
I play cowboy chords
These air conditioned words
About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs
I sing simple songs
About rights and wrongs
About finding that trail that leads away from everyone
And darling I know I do not give you much
I get hungry for a wondering and then I don?t come back for months
And I keep your picture by my side
It?s in my wallet, it?s on my mind
Every song I know, contains a whisper of your soul
I play cowboy chords
These air conditioned words
About longing for the prairie and living in the suburbs
I sing simple songs
About rights and wrongs
About finding that trail that leads away from everyone
And so my days slip away all the same
Rolling wheels, hotels rooms and going grey
Casting glances over my shoulder as I go
Tying knots and dwell on things I do not know
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
I know my trade out on these boards with cowboy chords
